I'm Scout and I am looking for a forever home. Right now I am living with Pete and we play together a lot. I am the most playful. I'm about 20 pounds and just 4 years old. I'm a good eater, am housebroken, and otherwise a great guy. I have such cute little ears and an darling underbite. My foster mom is always telling me to put my teeth back in my mouth. Note from the foster mom: Scout and Pete are both pug mixes who were rescued together and always stay together. They play together constantly and sleep side by side. Pete is more affectionate and Scout is more into something all the time. He loves to carry stuff around. He had a chewy yesterday that he let hang out of his mouth like a cigar and carried it around most of the day. It was so cute! It would be great if they get adopted together.

So said Coco Chanel. She could have been talking about her namesake - baby Coco Chanel, a 6-month-old tortie. With her striking coat and sweet and sassy nature, Coco Chanel will capture your heart! This little lady sought shelter from the elements in a PAWS foster mom's outdoor cat house. She popped out one morning begging for food and attention.
